Lewis has also used her talents to teach others about acting. She’s an adjunct lecturer at the University of Southern California (USC) School of Dramatic Arts. In 2018, Lewis spoke to Playbill about taking a break from teaching to take more roles on herself. “I’ve been teaching in LA at USC,” she said. “And I love it, but when you teach and you teach and you teach and then you don’t recharge the battery, you become a bad teacher who’s a little resentful and a little not all there.” RELATED: For more celebrity news delivered right to your inbox, sign up for our daily newsletter. When Lewis stepped back from teaching in 2018, it was because she wanted to return to New York and her theater roots. “It was actually my husband,” she told Broadway.com. “You know, I teach at USC. I’ve been teaching there for nine years, and I do my television thing there [in Los Angeles], but I was so missing it. And he looked at me one day and said, ‘You got to get out of here … You’re going to be miserable if you don’t.’” So, Lewis decided to spend some time in New York and “see if it sort of lit [her] back up.” The next thing she knew, she landed a part in the stage adaptation of Anastasia. “It’s a fantastic role,” she said. Lewis’ husband, who gave her the career-changing advice, is Philip G. Allen, a sound designer who also teaches at USC. He has worked in theater sound design, as well as on TV productions.
